2nd Annual Valentine Making Party

Is it just me or is February dragging on? Spring can't come soon enough for this lady and I think my impatience is making this short month feel like a long one!

Today I am excited to be recapping my Valentine Making Party with you! I had such a fun weekend with a good dose of time with friends and one on one time with my main squeeze.

The weekend started with a fun girls' night as I hosted my 2nd Valentine Making Party! I first hosted this party 2 years ago (recap here) with hopes of making it an annual thing. I dropped the ball last year, but was glad to bring it back this year and am already thinking of ways I can make it even more fun next year!

One of the highlights of the night, and the whole weekend, was Erin's visit. She and her hubby, Ryan have become some of our absolute best friends over the last 2 years and we simply adore their baby girl, Sully. She brought the fancy new camera she received for Christmas with her, and I love some of the photos she snapped. You'll definitely notice a difference between her pics and mine in this post!

What I love most about events like these is that they bring different groups of my friends together.

Not to mention, I have some pretty talented friends...

This "Olive You" card was my favorite from the night!

No good girls night is complete without good food, so I set up that station in the kitchen!

I made champagne punch again, which is always a hit and so easy! Simply pour a bottle of champagne over a container of raspberry sherbet, add 1 liter of ginger ale, and top with a bag of frozen strawberries!

Such a fun party!! Everything turned out so cute! You should share the chicken and waffle recipe, they look delish! I ended up hosting a little brunch with my friends. Also, loving the pillow mix on the couch.

What a fun party! I love the bigger pictures, and the pictures your friend took turned out great! While I still use my Iphone for a lot of photos, we bought a nice camera for the birth of SC, and it makes a huge difference. It is definitely nice to have on hand! I didn't make handmade valentines this year, but I did make a cut-out of SC's handprints and put them in a shape of a heart for the husband. Also, I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's macaroons! I did a French themed party for one of my friends last year, and between that in their meringues, I was pretty much set for desserts! Your spread looks amazing and everything is decorated adorably. :)
